Evaluation
At seasonal evaluations with each student farmer, the staff and the student farmer review the program and discuss progress. Using a check list, they work together to assess where the student farmer falls in their comfort, skill and confidence with specific practices. This process is important for the student to know where she or he can concentrate next, and for the staff to make sure they’re covering the material they need to cover with all the student farmers.
